just a thought. if Leicester offered us a straight swap beckford for peleon would you say yes or no, its a NO from me
Believable0
Unbelievable0
No no no way. But would love him back but not on those circumstances! Mot.
Agree0
Disagree0
Not sure on this one. I would love to have Beckford back but Poleon is young and starting to develop. He has found the net I pre-season so may be ready to fire this season following his goal at Watford. Beckford would be ready to fire from the start. The swap is never going to happen anyway so the rumour is just or fun
Agree0
Disagree0
It shouldn't even be a question, poleon is young and hungry and in a few yers will b worth 5 times what becky is worth. what a poor deal this would b. i'd prefer wes morgan from leicester anyway but not 4 poleon
Agree0
Disagree0
No way, Poleon has his whole future ahead of him, Beckford kicked his into touch the minute he walked away from Leeds in favor of money.
Agree0
Disagree0
Never for poleon but varney and some cash for beckford would be good
Agree0
Disagree0
Definitely not. Loved Beckford but we have to move on, got my fingers crossed that Poleon will have a big future with us.
Agree0
Disagree0
No Way. A potential star for an old has been, I don't think so.

to all those who are concerned we are only going to sign one player, fear not. If you read brians statement correctly it would appear to me at least that while he is concentrating on signing his main target, a key signing for us. He does not say this is his last signing, thus he is likely to still be after the two or three more originally planned when he said he was after six or seven new men. remember the worries some posted prior to murphey signing followed by extacy from the same people. some swing like pendulums. So far our new owners have been true to their word even if it has taken longer than we would like. As for selling before we buy, we do not want dead wood hanging around being paid to do nothing and destablising the dressing room, we also need to be careful of fair play rules. I believe by close of window we will have a competitive squad managed by a man who can get them to excell, this will lead to the playoffs at the least with a good shot at promotion.

He also said on lutv he's concentrating on 1 at the MOMENT. Mot

BMD signing 6 or 7 players was probably based on uinitial thoughts of where he thought the club was last year.
I think Poleons progression would see the remaining signings limited to 2, with a centre half and a winger key (game changer type).
I don't know what he thinks about Dawson, but with the diamond formation looking like the prefered option he may get more oppurtunities.

Think it will be David Haigh coming back on the same flight. He went out to see Saturdays game and was staying on to see the final game tonight. So probably him.

Mrs Harvey posting again live fron shauns sock drawer. I don't think superfan haigh ( publicity Dave) made it to Slovenia Saturday something mire entertaing in Hyde park! he's expected to be there today but no more signings until bmd gets home and begs for more cash?

Seriously hope the new signings mackey-Stevens. I know we need a centre back but McDermott said the signing excites him. If it is Stevens it would be the best signing realistically possible. Even though we need a defender I think we could get both.

So there seems to be one player left that BMD
Is after, I thinking we need to strengthen the defence
Rather than been linked with every avaliable striker, winger
Yes we need wingers however out of a winger or a solid cb i'd vote for a cb, what do you think?
Believable0
Unbelievable0
We need more than one player. striker, versatile winger, and a couple of defenders. some of the deadweight needs to go first though.
Agree0
Disagree0
We dnt need 2 defenders just 1 will do. we definitely dnt need another st, smith and mccormack as our main 2 then poleon and hunt as back will do and maybe if we have 2 then push varney up
Agree0
Disagree0
Smith and Poleon still to prove themselves, Hunt has never been a first choice striker, and McCormack is playing a deeper role in McDermott's new formation. we need someone in the Becchio mold to lead the line. also a versatile defender and a solid centre half leader are must haves to add squad depth. as it stands, a couple of bad injuries and we'll be relegated, simple as.
Agree0
Disagree0
We definitely need another striker. Hunt isn't very prolific will play the headless chicken role. McCormack is playing deeper and Poleon and Smith are untested at this level. Need a Vydra quality striker.
Agree0
Disagree0
No smith and mccormack will play very well 2gether, combined they have everything. everyone wants a big name 2 join but leeds dnt have the money so as they have been doing will use there brains.
Agree0
Disagree0
Vydra was unproven and unknown at this level too so why not give our lads a chance before writing them off
Crmd
Agree0
Disagree0
Hunt a headless chicken!are you on drugs? He is one of the better players in the squad now.
Agree0
Disagree0
Hunt will start he is a workhorse and will provide assists and space for their strike partner. He is the reason that the likes of Doyle went for big money because hunt brought the best out of him. McCormack is a skilful player and will set up chances and put them away he can play AM or ST. Smith and Poleon 3 goals in 3 games not too shabby really is it now?
Agree0
Disagree0
Doyle was not worth the money he went 4 just by hunt bringing the best from him. hunt will never start, ross will b the main st and smith the other, hunt will b a sub

Leeds new away kit is yellow, if you don't believe me type it into google images and you'll see it modelled by our lads, the blue kit will be our 3rd kit this season. MOT

I do hope you are joking and you don't really believe that poor attempted mock up is not our actual kit. Never heard of Photoshop?
Agree0

It is the first kit with some photoshop!
Agree0

I think it's photoshopped as it's the exact same photo but in yellow as the home kit
Agree0
Disagree0
Of course it is photoshopped, Steve Morison is still in the bloody photo
Agree0

I know it's photoshopped but does look better as an away kit with that awful blue stripe than the home kit.

I too think patience is a virtue
Its great we have good manager and exciting to actually get some new young players in.
Realistically our team/squad isn't good enough yet for promotion. Lacks Pace and on field leadership I think.
However, next year with a few more in and youth having more experience we will be ready.
It will be great to get back in prem but even better if we can stay there.
However however, if mcd bloods youth from august and then snaps up a couple more goodens in january maybe we could do a reading surge. But, how long did they last?
One game at a time and trust the man.

No I dnt trust him, he brought hunt in as his m8 nothing to do with leeds, hunt will fail
Agree0
Disagree0
Let's just wait and see, give him a chance, too easy to say I'm a pessimist because I'm a Leeds fan.
Agree0
Disagree0
Clearly someone who does not know football, hunt is a proven experienced premier league player, you cannot always judge players on how many goals they score, his returns each year have been good but it is the ability to bring other players into the game and the movement and assists that he has done that makes him a very good signing for the championship.
Agree0
Disagree0
Quite right. I think Hunt will be a very popular player with both fans and team mates due to his work rate
Agree0
Disagree0
Hunt has never done a great deal 4 any club
Agree0
Disagree0
Also strikers are there 2 score that is there main job and his return is pathetic, yes he brings others in but the mid is there 2 do that apart from austin who just shoots all game
Agree0
Disagree0
Hunt a proven premier league striker. o dear. 39 goals in 5 years says it all. Not good enough
Agree0
Disagree0
In 3 years which is probably more accurate, he scored 24 goals one of those seasons were in in the premier league. If he contributes by scoring 10-12 goals this season which I think he is more than capable of. Luke varney scored six goals, noel hunt is much better than him and he is surrounded by a higher quality side. Noel hunt will work a lot harder, he won't dive and he will be a fans favourite. We've got a few other strikers who will bang in goals and it all adds up
Agree0
Disagree0
Hunt will not offer anything
Agree0
Disagree0
More persons knocking Hunt who obviously know very little about football
Agree0
Disagree0
Yh we just know his stats and for a striker they r poor, iv seen midfielders with better stats
Agree0
Disagree0
I think the people slating hunt have never watched football before
Agree0
Disagree0
Oh iv watched football and that's how I know how terrible hunt is. stats tell u the truth
